Pasig City is dubbed the “Green City” of the Philippines and is intriguingly divided into two: the West and the East.

The western part includes Ortigas, Silver City, and other surrounding areas. On the other hand, the eastern part includes Manggahan, which is much closer to Rizal. Pasig was originally part of the province of Rizal until November 7, 1975, when it was declared part of Metro Manila (NCR).

Historically, Rizal was more of a residential and industrial area, but it has since evolved into a commercial hub, especially after the development of Ortigas Center. With the rise of more buildings for big businesses, hotels, and shopping malls, Pasig has become a prime spot for business growth and success.

Wondering what places to visit in Pasig? Check out the attractions below!

Immaculate Conception Cathedral or The Pasig Cathedral

Founded by Augustinian missionaries in 1573, the Pasig Cathedral is one of the oldest establishments in the city.

Bahay na Tisa

Built in the 1850s, Bahay na Tisa has been home to seven generations of the Tech family. It has also served as a filming location for TV shoots requiring an antique, old-fashioned vibe. To this day, Bahay na Tisa remains occupied by the Tech descendants.

Pasig City Museum

This house-turned-museum is another historical gem in Pasig. Originally owned by Don Fortunato Cabrera Concepcion, a former mayor of Pasig in 1918, the property was purchased by the Pasig government and converted into a museum in 2001.

The museum holds a rich history, having hosted significant events such as a visit from former President Manuel Quezon and serving as a detention center during World War II. Today, visitors can explore historical exhibits and valuable memorabilia within its walls.
